I am happy to announce Pivote v0.9 - it now works with PivotX 2.0 Final.

Get it from the first post in this topic stream.

New in v0.9 (besides that it now works in the final PivotX 2.0 release):

- added a pivotetop widget. You can still use the pivote_top template tag to show a list of highest rated (or most rated) articles, but the pivotetop widget allows you easy drag and drop for this functionality from the PivotX dashboard (Extensions -> Widgets).

- new field in the pivote extension configuration section - called 'Header' - allows you to specify a header for the pivotetop widget (does not apply for the pivote_top template tag). You should be able to use html to format this header.

I appreciate feedback (both positive and in case there are opportunities to improve this product) and also like to hear from you if you are using it on your PivotX blog!

I added the extension to my Pivot 2.0 final installation but I'm having the following issues:1) The stars version of the conf.php file won't work. I renamed it to pivote_conf.php and deleted the other images and conf files in /pivote-gfx but somehow it still shows the bars even when loading in a new browser.2) The widget doesn't seem to be working, as it isn't displaying anything even though I have an article with a rating.

Did you also follow this part of the instruction: When you do this, to make this effective, delete the corresponding files from pivotx/db/pivote/pivote-gfx? (Note that this is in the db directory) After doing this, open the PivotX dashboard and reload the extensions page. It may be necessary to disable / re-enable the Pivote extension as a last resort.

I think this one is easy: check in the PivotX dashboard in the extensions configuration section for Pivote that the Minimum votes is set to 1 (I believe the default is 5, so any article with less than 5 votes will not display in the top list).

I missed both of those - so thanks for taking the time to point them out. I didn't have to reload pivote after deleting the files, FYI.

I also have a small display issue, as the stars don't align in the center of the box as they do in your OP - see here. The box also appears to be wider than needed - CSS issue?
